Cecilia Payne is the astronomer who discovered that the stars were composed primarily of hydrogen and helium.

Her 1925 groundbreaking doctoral thesis about stars composition was initially rejected because it contradicted the scientific wisdom of the time.

When her dissertation was reviewed, astronomer Henry Norris Russell dissuaded her from concluding that the composition of the Sun was predominantly hydrogen because it would contradict the scientific consensus of the time that the elemental composition of the Sun and the Earth were similar.

She was later proved correct and her work on the nature of variable stars was foundational to modern astrophysics.

Thanks to her research we know what the stars are made of.

The first of our five-part series on 9/11. Enjoy.

[Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen]

I visited Kerem Shalom, one of the 2 main crossings between Israel and Gaza, where @SenJeffMerkley & I pointed out that the so-called Gaza Humanitarian Foundation's delivery system is fatally flawed.

People are starving. The Netanyahu government must let more food into Gaza NOW.

Yes, reports confirm Trump admin intervened at Israel's request to release Tom Artiom Alexandrovich, arrested in a US child predator sting, allowing his swift return despite felony charges.

Broader pattern exists: Since 2014, over 60 accused US sex offenders have fled to Israel via Law of Return, evading prosecution with community aid and delayed extraditions. Examples include Malka Leifer and Jimmy Karow (CBS News, Haaretz). Israel has extradited some, but patterns of refuge persist.

[Former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene🇺🇸 @FmrRepMTG]

AIPAC is sending fundraising emails attacking me for saying, “the most truthful and easiest thing to say that Oct 7th in Israel was horrific and all hostages must be returned, but so is the genocide, humanitarian crisis, and starvation happening in Gaza.”

Well this is the sign on the front door of my office and I think the truth is AIPAC doesn’t like it because I UNAPOLOGETICALLY REPRESENT AMERICA!🇺🇸

I’m one of the only members of Congress that doesn’t take money from AIPAC, who donates way more money to Republicans than Democrats.

The truth is AIPAC needs to register as a foreign lobbyist by U.S. law because they are representing the secular government of nuclear armed Israel 100%!!!

While Congress is out on recess and supposed to be working in our districts, they just took a bunch of members of Congress to Israel to make sure they don’t step out of line.

While AIPAC is lying to their donors about me claiming I’m “betraying my American values” the REALITY is AIPAC 1,000,000% serves and lobbies for a foreign country, Israel!!

I’m as AMERICAN as they come!

I can’t be bought and I’m not backing down!!

I’m fighting for my children’s generation and for AMERICA ONLY!!!!

Bring. It. On.

We successfully completed both P8 and P9 this weekend, our first time performing two surgeries in one day. Both participants are recovering well and in great spirits. We are looking forward to supporting them on their Neuralink journey.

The Palestinian people will never forget who stood firm with us on matter of principle, before it was fashionable to condemn the ongoing genocide. Thank you, @GaryLineker, for your principled voice.

Our guesthouse’s “Pledge of Non-involvement in War Crimes” applies not on the basis of “nationality,” but rather to individuals who have belonged to a military organization that has been determined by the International Criminal Court (ICC) to have committed war crimes. Therefore, this policy does not constitute “discrimination based on nationality.”

The very definition of “discrimination” is the unequal treatment of individuals based on factors beyond their personal control. To give an example, subjecting someone to unjust violence, confiscating their home and land, denying them legal protection, or detaining them indefinitely without trial simply because they are Palestinian clearly constitutes “discrimination.”

In contrast, joining a military — regardless of whether it is through conscription or voluntary enlistment — falls within the scope of personal choice and responsibility. Responding differently to individuals based on such choices is not discrimination. This is especially true when the commander-in-chief of that military has been internationally indicted for war crimes. In such cases, differing treatment is even more justifiable.

If Israeli nationals are more likely to be asked to sign the pledge, it is a consequence of the policies and actions of the Israeli government. If this results in disadvantages for Israeli citizens, the responsibility lies with their government. This is the natural and logical conclusion.

Should an individual involved in the October 7, 2023 Hamas attacks attempt to stay at our guesthouse, we would likewise ask them to sign the same pledge. The fact that Hamas committed war crimes and whether an individual Israeli soldier is a war criminal are entirely separate issues. Using the former to justify the latter is nothing more than a typical fallacy called “ignoratio elenchi.”

It was the ICC that determined the Israeli military committed war crimes. If there is disagreement with this, then it is the duty of Prime Minister Netanyahu and Former Defense Minister Gallant — who have been issued arrest warrants — to appear before the ICC and assert their innocence in court. This is the appropriate course of action for those who claim to uphold international law.

While we do not represent Japan or Kyoto, this is our personal and principled stance that, at the very least, we do not believe that those who disregard international law and humanitarian values are entitled to receive “hospitality and respect.” We sincerely hope that the day will come when we can wholeheartedly welcome Israeli guests. For that, we respectfully urge the Israeli government to immediately cease its disregard for international law and to adopt policies grounded in humanitarian principles.

The James Webb Space Telescope detected dimethyl sulfide in its atmosphere (on Earth that comes from marine microorganisms).

K2-18b is potentially habitable super-Earth about 2.6 times the size of our planet. It is located 124 light-years from the Solar System.

Sooo… first reaction- we told you so…

Second reaction… I’m really confused…

Did the Trump admin just not have time to go through all these files and find all these things to redact?

[Adam @AdameMedia]

Never forget Hind Rajab 💔

She was just six years old and lsraeI shot at her 355 times. They knew she was in the car. They shot 355 times.

She was terrified.

Western media described her as a “woman” to protect lsraeI’s image.

Never forget.

[Dan Bilzerian @DanBilzerian]

Glad the pressure of the world finally led to a ceasefire for the Palestinians. Their suffering woke a lot of people up to the stranglehold Israel has on the US govt and to the Jewish supremacy that's currently plaguing our planet

[Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt @FranceskAlbs]

There should be no fear where there is courage, integrity and committment to justice and human rights without discrimination. The reputation of the ICC has always been at stake because of Palestine; now more than ever.

Hind Rajab, 6 years old, pleaded for her life for three hours.

She and the Red Crescent paramedics who tried to rescue her, were murdered in cold blood by Israeli soldiers.

This mural in Dublin 🇮🇪 by Emmalene Blake celebrates her life.

Never forget.
